League of Imaginary Scientists Drills ‘Wormhole’ Into Museum

A band of tech-minded artists called The League of Imaginary Scientists claims it will invade a Los Angeles museum Thursday by building a wormhole of sorts. Hosted by the Museum of Contemporary Art, the League jokes that its wormhole “can get you there from here, if you don’t care where you’re going, and you don’t need to get back.”

Projecting forward in the space-time continuum beyond Thursday’s wormhole installation, the claque of absurdist inventors and self-proclaimed quacks will, on Feb. 4, unveil The Automatoggler. Described as a logical successor to inventions like Eli Whitney’s cotton gin and Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone, the League brags in a statement that The Automatoggler will not only save humanity but “also makes toast.”

The League of Imaginary Scientists concludes its guest residency in MOCA’s The Evolving Contraption series with a March 3 exercise in steampunk air flight called The Zephyr Experiment.
